.SPEGIFIOATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 629,887, dated August 1, 1899.

Application filed May 10,1899. Serial No. 716,231. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that 1, JOHN H. BROWN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Allen'- town, in the county of Allegany and State of New York,ha ve invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window-Stop Devices, of which the following is a full and complete specification, such as will enable those skilled in the artto which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to window stopsg and the object thereof is toprovide an improved device or devices of this class by means of which a window-sash may be securely held in position and detached whenever desired and whereby the sash may be quickly and easily removed for cleaning and other purposes and also raised and lowered for ventilation and prevented from rattling.

The'invention is fully disclosed in the fol-. lowing specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which Figure 1 is an inside view of a window frame and sashes provided with my improvement; Fig. 2, a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; Figs. 8 and 4, plan views of details of the construction, and Fig; 5 side and sectional views of other details.

In the drawingsforming part of this specification the separate parts of my improvement are designated by the same numerals of reference in each of the views, and in said drawings I have shown an ordinary windowframe 7, in which are mounted the usual upper and lower sashes 8 and 9.

The upper sash in the accompanying drawings is held in place by the usual beads or strips 10, while the lower sash 9 is held in place by detachable and movable beads or strips 11.

In connecting each of the beads or strips 11 with the frame I form in the sides of the sash, preferably at or near the middle there of, a longitudinal recess 12, over which is placed a plate 13, (shown in detail in Fig. 4,)

and this plate is provided with a diagonal slot 14, at one end of which, preferably the upper end, is an enlarged opening 15. The bead or strip 11 is also provided with a longi tudinal slot 16, over which is placed a plate 17, (shown in detail in Fig. 3,) and the plate 17 is provided with a longitudinal slot 18. I

also provide a bolt 19, having a head 20, which is preferably rectangular in form, as shown in Fig. 5, and the bolt 19 is adapted to be passed inwardly through the head or strip 11 and through the slot 18 in the plate 17, and the head 20 of said bolt is adapted to be passed through the opening 15 in the plate 13 and the body portion of said bolt to move in the slot lat in said plate. A thumb-nut 21 is also provided and adapted to be screwed onto the end of the bolt 19, which projects through the bead or strip 11, and by means of this device the head or strip 11 is secured in place. As hereinbefore stated, the bolt 19 is adapted to be moved either up or down in the slot 14 of the plate 13, and the upward movement of said bolt will loosen said bead or strip and move it inwardly, while the downward movement thereof will force said head or strip out; wardly, so as to press it against the sash 9. It will thus be seen that the downward movement of the bolt 19 forces the bead or strip 11 outwardly against the sash 9 and holds said sash securely in position and prevents the rattling thereof and also prevents drafts around said sash, and by moving the bolt 19 upwardly until the head thereof reaches the opening 15 the head or strip 11 and the screw connected therewith may be detached from the frame, as will be readily understood.

purposes is to remove the beads or strips 11,

as herein described, and when applied to a window-frame havingtwo sashes the lower sash may be removed in a similar manner and cleaned, while access may be had to the upper sash after the lower one has been removed.

Having fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-,

1. A window-stop,comprisinga plate adapted to be secured to the side of the frame and provided with a diagonal slot, and abolt vertically movable in said slot, a plate adapted to be secured to the bead or strip which holds the sash in place and provided with a longitudinal slot through which said bolt passes, substantially as shown and described.

2. Awindow-stop,comprisingaplateadapted to be secured to the side of the frame and provided with a diagonal slot, and abolt vertically movable in said slot, a plate adapted to be secured to the bead or strip which holds the sash in place and provided with a longitudinal slot throughwhich said bolt passes, said bolt being provided with a thumb-nut, substantially as shown and described.

3. The combination with the side of a win- JOHN H. BROVN.
